Loki 1,184 Posted March 9, 2012 When bringing together many people from all parts of the world, a main concern for Olympic planners is security. With the wars countries are involved in as well as acts of terrorism, it is of great importance that these matters are not disruptive to the friendly competitions at the 2016 Olympics. And Rio de Janeiro is proving that they wont be messing around. Recent images of the Welcoming Sign to Rio feature some of the security measures being established to deter any thoughts of interfering with the games. Here is the first thing travelers will see when arriving to Rio de Janeiro. No, it is not a giant scanner, as much as it resembles one. Although this image is pretty enough, there is one feature that isnt immediately evident to the eye that showcases just one of the possible disciplinary actions law enforcers have at their disposal. That is right. The island will feature a catapult that can throw any wrong doers into the unforgiving sea. Olympic planners have yet to release designs of said catapult, but they are expected to be released soon. If the catapult is not considered the most suitable punishment for the criminals crime, there is also a tower so tall that it reaches into the sky. At this high of an altitude, the felons will slowly die of high altitude cerebral edema from the lack of oxygen to the brain. When the tower shown previously becomes too filled with bodies, there is also the old fashioned hanging. However, to distinguish themselves from such old fashioned traditions, Olympic officials have taken a modern approach. The water that creates this waterfall is pumped directly from the ocean. During this process, acid is laced into the water making it very dangerous for human contact. In this way, the outlaws can be tied at the neck or feet, but will similarly be killed when thrown into the searing acid. However, to keep with the spirit of the Olympics, the officials at Rio de Janeiro have created a way to use the fire from the Olympic torch to burn potential delinquents to death. The platform have two patrol man who will handle forcing them into the flames. Of course, if officials are met with resistance, they can also be thrown into the acid laced waterfall on the opposite side of the structure. Overall, people planning to travel to the 2016 Olympics should think twice before messing with Brazil. Keep your nerve gas, bazokas, and nuclear bombs at home. Youll be glad you did. 7 AnsemTheWise, 4Everbee, axel91 and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnsemTheWise 1,114 Posted March 10, 2012 WTF I came up that catapult first! Granted, mine launched them into the desert... but it's the same principle! I should go to Rio and... Well, then I'd get catapulted into the ocean. Forget it. I'm not that big on the catapult idea anymore. They can have it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
